Story Behind The Song
Ex-girlfriend of the author put him through hell (as they do now and again).
This is a song that has the singer literally saying "I really hate you and I'm over you" when actually, it's quite obvious that he's not.
We've all been there!
Song Description
Fast, furious and surprisingly catchy song with the songs narrator hurling an acerbic attack on his ex-girlfriend and her mad ways... with more than a hint of madness on the part of the storyteller too!

Lyrics
Is it me or are you strange? Are you that deranged?
Well, not at first glance, you seem quite lucid and clear.
But then the truth comes out!
I hear you scream and shout your pretty head off.
It?s two in the morning and I?m so tired.
Come on come on, put my window through with a brick
Slash my tyres, or harm yourself you lunatic.
Mad girl, welcome back to the real world
Stop thinking that you are so popular
And you?re the star of your own soap opera
Mad girl, in your crazy twisted world
There?s no logic reason or perspective; you?re emotionally defective
I?m only sad you missed the vein when you tried to cut your wrists
You aimed way to low...
It should have been your pretty little throat
The war is won ? you win it.
I hope your house burns down with you in it and you lose your keys
Then maybe I could close my eyes
Take the pills, they don?t prescribe them just for fun
Take the pills, take the whole bottle,
Please... go on
Mad girl, welcome back to the real world
Stop thinking that you are so popular
And you?re the star of your own soap opera
Mad girl, in your crazy twisted world
There?s no logic reason or perspective; you?re emotionally defective
They say you?re highly strung, I do believe they?re wrong
But that conjures up an image that I?d like to see
Your public face is so polite.
How do you fucking sleep at night beautiful?
Do you sleep the sleep of the just?
In your mind you?re quite lucid calm and able
It?s unkind because you?re emotionally unstable
Mad girl, welcome back to the real world
Stop thinking that you are so popular
And you?re the star of your own soap opera
Mad girl, in your crazy twisted world
There?s no logic reason or perspective; you?re emotionally defective
